Hotel Aurora

This hotel is situated at the sensational site among pine trees, looking towards the most beautiful sunset. The see is cristal clear. The rooms are rather small, but comfortable. Everything is clean. The food is local and of high quality. The best of all are people - they are very comitted, competent and nice. Many thanks to all.

The forest, the beach, the water - absolutely amazing. However, I would never say that Aurora is a 4 star hotel. The food was indeed incredible (in variety and million different ways of preparation, for all tastes) and the hotel n general was very clean. The first issue was waiting for us on arrival at reception. They informed us that sunbeds and umbrellas on the beach are not, in fact, free. There is an additional charge (12 euros for beds and an umbrella) per day. It is not too expensive, but it is an issue when the booking offer says they are free. The room was decent and very clean, but there was no kettle (which is strange for a 4 star hotel). The biggest surprise in the room was related to beach towels. There were beach towels and a beach bag you can use, which was nice, but there was an additional charge to have them washed. I have never seen this in a hotel - having to pay extra for washing towels. We also had problems finding a spot at the beach, where people reserve beds with towels at 6 a.m. while the beach was empty until 10 o'clock. Beach staff saw this and didn't do anything. Finally, we left with a damaged car - tree raisin from the trees at the free parking. I wish someone from the staff had warned us as it never crossed my mind. If they had, we would have parked the car in the closed parking garage (for an additional charge). Overall, excellent location, not so excellent hotel.

We don’t usually stay at big resort hotels but it seemed the best option available near Mali Lošinj.It turned out to be one of the highlights of our whole trip round northern Croatia! Yes, it’s pricey (200 per night )but we had a great balcony with lovely view of the open sea beyond the fragrant pines. The Hotel is at Veli Sel beach and the whole place looks very upmarket for a big resort hotel.Even the small, pretty beach area is nicely done and looks smart. Nice spacious room.(Superior double with sea view.) First class buffet breakfast, only outdone by the amazingly good value 3 course buffet dinner(an incredible deal at 22 euros each) which we discovered on our second night.Wish we’d known it existed before this! Excellent quality and enormous variety of foods…lots of different fish, meats, salmon, various potato dishes and veg, cheeses, soups, salads plus desserts. A feeding frenzy! The separate restaurant at the beach is not part of the dinner buffet deal but the hotel has lots of balcony tables so the setting is lovely too.Plus the beach restaurant doesn’t get great reviews. Loved the location and SO glad we didn’t opt to stay in Mali Lošinj town itself, despite how pretty it is.Much prefer a quieter, rural location yet town was within walking distance on a forest path.Free parking just metres away from the hotel , avoiding the hotel’s own hefty charge and suggested by them. We were there pre the big influx of families so it was mostly a more ‘mature’ age group who were there.Great music played, perhaps given ages…Elvis, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Queen. I usually hate the awful modern ‘Muzak’ that’s played but this was so different and enjoyable. There was a DJ on Thursday night and couples dancing traditionally to the above crooners…great fun. Really would have loved another night here.The bay is gorgeous though it’s small and is busy but there are lots of places on the rocks to go into the crystal clear water, without hiring a lounger. Loved Losinj as an island.Much nicer than Rab.Neighbouring Veli Losinj village was if anything, even prettier than its bigger neighbour, in fact quite a wow and of course, quieter.

Outdor pool betvin Aurora and Vespera closed 24.5.-31.5. Weather was nice !! No wc on the beach.No cabins for undressed.Parking 6 euro per day,high prices for drinks+ service tax 5%.Food good but was better on years before.

Big facility with poor design. Had to walk several hundred meters to the room using stairs. No elevator for half floors. Limited staffing. Limited parking. Overpriced. Won’t go back.

Hotel Aurora is located in a beautiful spot, right next to beaches and pathways along the sea. Rooms were clean, big, and comfortable, and amenities were great.
